The company, which is operating under bankruptcy protection, is offering a Drive the Vote deal that gives renters a free day on any rental that’s two days or longer and starts on either Nov. 2 or Nov. 3.
The deal applies to neighborhood locations, and renters still need to pay taxes for the free day, similar to when they use Hertz Gold Points for a car.
In promoting the deal, Hertz cited statistics suggesting that 30% of 18- to 29-year-olds didn’t vote in 2016 due to a lack of transportation.
